• Of or relating to [psychosis] or psychoses, particularly behaviour associated with them. [Psychotic] behaviour occurs when a person is suffering psychoses, which may be the result of a chronic illness (classically schizophrenia) or very [transient] in which case it is usually caused by intoxicants. In any case, [psychotic] by definition means of or relating to psychoses therefore only behaviour that is due to a psychosis is truly psychotic by extension. A psychosis represents loss of contact with reality; it may or may not include delusional, paranoid or disorganised behaviour.

    Informal and [erroneous], though by far the most common lay usage. Refers to extreme behaviour that appears exaggerated, dangerously violent, or motivated by extreme rage. Is usually frightening to observers.

  • In general common usage, the term connotates crazy. However, actually psychotic people sometimes [hallucinate] badly, can have delusional ideas, sometimes say things that wouldnt make sense to them if they were in their senses, and sometimes just arent there in a [catatonic] sense. Some cant filter out irrelevant stuff from their surroundings, but not all. An old term for a catatonic Schizophrenia symptom has been passed to its genetic opposite for quite awhile now, Autism. Ironically, though psychotic implies crazy, I find [Antisocial personality disorder] to have more to do with crazy then psychotic ever did.
